Description: The cupboard doors are not good. They had to go. It looks much better without them. Later on we’ll repaint the wood and eventually remodel, but for now it just needs to be opened up.

Description: The house came with all appliances, which was good for just moving in but the clothes dryer doesn’t actually dry the clothes. It might just be an easy fix, but it’s also so small that you can’t do a large load or blankets.
Update: Ended up getting a new 6.5 cu foot capacity dryer at Lowe’s. They brought it out, laughed over the old dryer, and installed the new one on the 1st.

Description: Our nearly 40-year-old house has a number of outlets with wiring problems and others so loose that a two-pronged cord will just fall out. It’s time to get all of the outlets replaced. There are X outlets in the house.
Updates: We have the parts and tools, now I just need the time to do it.
